Search Engine Marketing Buyer's Guide 2006 - E-consultancy, Chris Lake, E-consultancy, May 2006

[Editor's Note: the updated 2007 version of this Buyer's Guide is available.]

This report, which is an updated version of our 2005 Search Engine Marketing Buyer’s Guide, covers both search engine optimisation (aka SEO, organic search, or natural search) and paid search (aka PPC, paid listings, or pay-per-click).

It is primarily focused on the UK search market, and aimed at marketers looking to outsource the management of SEO or PPC campaigns. The guide also provides detail on the issues and trends, as well as strategic fuel to help you build a business case.

The report starts with a look at trends in the marketplace, as well as our analyst forecasts for SEO and PPC spending in 2006.

Trends within this market include:

- Growth in the market for SEO services will continue to accelerate during 2006 as marketers increasingly realise the importance and value of organic listings.

- Marketers are becoming more savvy about Paid Search ROI.

- Search is increasingly being built into overall marketing plans as it becomes more strategic.

- There is increased awareness about the need for ethical SEO.

Valuation summary:

- The UK Paid Search market will grow to €9 billion, a 67% increase on 2005 when Paid was worth €1,139m.

There are 28 search agencies profiled within this guide, all of which we believe to be among the top specialists in the UK.

We recommend that you also read and digest our Search Engine Optimzation - Best Practice Guide before engaging agencies. It contains an RFP to assist with agency selection.
